Middlesex University Dubai is a private institution. It operates as an overseas campus of Middlesex University London, which is a public university in the UK. However, the Dubai branch is privately managed and funded, adhering to the academic standards of its parent institution.
The campus offers British-accredited degrees and caters primarily to international students. While it follows the UK’s public education framework, its funding model and operational structure in Dubai classify it as a private university. It is regulated by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) in the UAE.
